A kolkhoz was a form of collective farm in the Soviet Union. Kolkhozes existed along with state farms or sovkhoz. These were the two components of the socialized farm sector that began to emerge in Soviet agriculture after the October Revolution of 1917, as an antithesis to individual or family farming.

These workshops belonged to the town of Novoshepelichi but was later added to the city of Pripyat. It lies just outside the gates of the city.
